Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Lunch Club members partnered with the Lewiston Police Department to support a local family needing assistance through a Gift of Sharing program. Officer Joseph Philippon, left, along with Rotarian Lorraine Bard, collected the generous contributions provided by Rotary members. Items included several parcels for the family, including a hand-crafted baby blanket pad. “Rotarians motto is Service Above Self,” noted club President Monica Millhime. “It never ceases to amaze me when a request for assistance is shared, Rotarians respond. Our members truly are passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, each and every day, by creating possible ripples in the lives of others.” L-A Rotary Lunch Club meets noon to 1 p.m. every Thursday at The Village Inn, Auburn.
